criminal regimes like Venezuela, Iran, and the DPRK, which are countries that haven’t invaded anyone, have zero overseas military bases, have zero vassal nations, and all three of which maintain no diplomacy with the Zionist entity

if that’s your criteria for being a garbage criminal regime, what does that make something like the USA or UK? Literal demons? Evil itself?

Janeway is a perpetrator of imperialist genocide and furthermore needlessly executed a beloved crewmember (Tuvix). I won’t abide her inclusion next to the esteemed Sisko and Picard, who are both champions of diplomacy and space stuff.

This is incredibly charming

Hey hey this is innacurate to link us to Stalin

we work for George Soros too

I prefer the country that hasn’t invaded anyone in 50 years over the country that’s launched an invasion every 18 months

furthermore it’s a moot question to ask this of a vegan because vegans often see animals as deserving rights on the level of humans, or at least I believe this based on my personal morals. So it’s like asking why I simply don’t eat human corpses. Or to make the analogy even more horrible, why I don’t eat the corpses of executed prisoners.

I hear stuff like this so often as a vegan. I get asked why I don’t wear leather, since the animal was already killed for its meat, so I might as well make use of its skin. Just yesterday I got asked why I won’t consume dairy because “the cows like being milked. It hurts the cow if they’re not milked.”

God forbid I try my best to reduce animal suffering. I know it’s not going to amount to a lot if I’m just an individual making consumer decisions, which is why I don’t treat veganism like that. It’s not a diet or a clothing style, it’s a demand for the end of animal suffering. And to that end I’ll try my best even if it makes my life personally difficult or annoying.

The only way I’ve been able to explain veganism to carnists is to ask them if they’d eat a dead baby, or wear their dead mother’s skin. But even that’s not very effective. I don’t know how to explain that animals are living beings who deserve life and dignity, same as humans. Because part of the problem I run into is needing to explain that humans deserve life and dignity. It’s hard explaining to a typical American carnist that cows shouldn’t be forcefully bred or used as a milk production factory when the same person believes homeless people all deserve to die.

The greatest measurable increase in life expectancy and quality of life happened in China during the second half of the 20th century, during which it developed from backwater feudalism to centrally planned socialism.

The greatest measurable reduction in life expectancy and quality of life occured in former Soviet countries in the 1990s, where they devolved from centrally planned socialism to internationally financed capitalism.

This is why liberals claim capitalism isn’t a specific material circumstance, but an abstract set of values, or simply when trade exists. They want to make it seem like capitalism is an intractable part of human existence that’s existed for as long as we have. One time I was talking to a guy who didn’t seem to be joking who told me capitalism began when the universe did, because chemicals trade electrons.

It’s vitally important to know which browser is preferred by the guy who says slurs to an audience of children

Let me contact a few Palestinians to tell them they expect far too much and they’ll never be happy

Seriously think about who you’re going to bat for. You’re comparing different flavors of Hitler and defending one.

“Death to America” is like our version of “and peace be with you.” It’s a nice phrase to say at the end of every statement.
